Bob's garden plan, drawn in 1961, an aerial
photograph taken ten years later, and a photo from the roof of
the house and looking the opposite direction, taken eleven years
after that. The decreasing size of trees and shrubs from front
(house) to back in the first photograph are evidence of his yearly
expansion to the far line. By the year 2000, those trees in the
back were seventy feet tall.

The long open vista of the rear lawn contrasts
with the more intricate flowing front (top of drawing) and side
lawns. The constantly curving paths shift the view of the visitor
with every step.

A rectangular area on the left was used
for propagation and nurturing young plants,while the orchard
lay beyond it. Garden dimensions are 330 by 660 feet. New housing
developments now border the property on three sides.
